I vote Stat cap raise

Quote from CD_Time >> The real solution to Spotlight is a limit on the number of OVR boosts players can receive. Base 98s should only receive one boost, 97s a max of two etc. Basically they can’t boost past base 99 and then stat boosts carry from there. With this solution, spotlight players accomplish the intended goal of keeping past promos relevant while future double boosted 99s can fit right in.
This fix not only makes sense, but has so much more integrity than raising the stat cap after going on the record multiple times saying they would not.
Haha, EA showing Integrity. good one. With that being said, I think they'll have to increase the cap. Limiting boosts for lower ovr players after everyone has already invested and built a team around that basis sounds problematic.

Lol they get too excited & jump the gun. They could easily plan it so they don't release 90s so early in the game but they get thirsty.
If they were given a 200 stat cap to work with we would probably still manage to be at 199 this month 😂
Quote from Dan_The_MUT_Man21 >> I hated OVRs past 99 last year but it looks like the only thing EA can do to prevent this game from crumbling to pieces is increasing the cap. These cards literally ruined the progression of this game. Seems like they made a decision to make some fast money and didn’t care to think about the consequences if the cards released. All they care about is will they sell. Smh.
So you're implying EA made a shortsighted decision? Impossible.
I'm so bored. I want stat cap raised. I want total chaos. It would be so fun if EA did this. Game mechanics already broken. Let's get crazy!
Remember last year when stat cap raise happened and we started seeing crazy stuff....I want that! My favorite was when the safety on the other side of defense would teleport to the other side to make a pick on the play. I want all of that. Total chaos would be so fun.
Quote from BillWalton >> Raise cap to 120, but still plays like 99. Who cares what the number says? A 350 lbs DT still chases your HB from behind.
I've never had that experience though I hear ppl say it a lot. Maybe a LB or DE but never a DT has chased me down from behind.
Though we don't have conclusive evidence of how much numbers change the gameplay, they do at a certain point. The issue here is if I have the highest numbers already then I don't need the new cards that come out. So basically without the cap being raised there's no incentive for me to not finish the season with my TOTY squad & 4-6 spotlight players because there won't be a difference in stats. Now I don't spend and honestly not sure of a reason to grind which means they get nothing out of me until after August & we all know that's not a scenerio EA will be comfortable with.

The idea that any of the points of contention have to do with $$$$ is absurd. The only real issue is that people play by rules that have been set by the "governing body" of this game. You are told that you will not exceed 99. Even today the advertisement logging in says "Overall boost does not apply to 99's". Then there is a twist. Think of it as a speed limit.
Your new cars will not go above 65. That is your speed limit. There is a governor on your car to slow it down to exactly that speed when reached. This will not change for the life of your new car. So do not buy a new car with the expectation of it exceeding 65. Period. Told many times. Signs posted on every road.
But...We have now decided that if you bring in your older model car we will adjust that governor to 70, 75, 80 etc...No limits.
I'm personally fine with the addition of these cards. I actually do like the extra incentives for any player that wants them. Just muddling along with all the same promo players for everyone sucks. I hated last year when everyone basically played the last 2 months with the same team.
Quote from Rshoots >> Quote from BradyBaby >> Where are you seeing the 99 stats? The top 100? Bro they spend money they should have all the advantages in the world. I think it’s ridiculous people are upset over people buying cards for the advantage. This game would suck if it was fair and balanced for free to players and people who spend. Anyway. Ya If your looking st the top 100 obviously they have great teams. They spend for the advantage
This isn't a suggestion but more of a prediction here. With the spotlight players we are seeing 98-99 in most viewable stats and this is leading to heavy amounts of diminishing returns after adding over about 5. The only thing that makes sense to make future cards viable in any foreseeable way is to no longer limit stats to 99 like last year.
I believe this to be the solution because even if 99s were allowed to have spotlight boosts going forward there isn't much of a higher ceiling to go. At some point there will only be boosts to stats that don't actually improve anything in their given position so there won't be a reason for anyone to upgrade which means no reason for anyone to spend.
If the stat cap doesn't raise then we are at the end of MM19 starting yesterday.
This isn't a complaint but instead meant to be info to consider if youre on the fence or planning to spend something you'd rather not or even buying then wondering if it's worth auctioning for coin. My belief is Spotlights are a momentary upgrade & we will be hit with something along the lines of how All Madden players first pushed us up to the 101-110 base cards.
